	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Above 65°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed.	NO open flames. Above 65°C use a closed system and ventilation.	Use water spray, dry powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

AVOID ALL CONTACT! PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Cough. Sore throat. Burning sensation. Shortness of breath. Laboured breathing.	Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Refer immediately for medical attention.
Skin	MAY BE ABSORBED! Redness. Pain. Skin burns. Blisters.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower for at least 15 minutes. Refer immediately for medical attention.
Eyes	Redness. Pain. Blurred vision. Severe deep burns.	Wear face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.	Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible). Refer immediately for medical attention.
Ingestion	Burns in mouth and throat. Abdominal pain. Vomiting. Shock or collapse.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer immediately for medical attention.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL INFORMATION
Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS LIQUID. Physical dangers No data. Chemical dangers The substance may polymerize due to heating and under the influence of light, and peroxides. Decomposes on heating. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes including acrolein. Reacts violently with strong acids, strong bases, strong oxidants and peroxides. This generates fire hazard.	Formula: C₆H₁₀O₃ / CH₂=CHCOOCH₂CH(CH₃)OH Molecular mass: 130.2 Boiling point: 191°C Relative density (water = 1): 1.1 Solubility in water, g/100ml at 25°C: 100 (good) Vapour pressure, Pa at 20°C: 5 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 4.5 Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.0 Flash point: 65°C Explosive limits, vol% in air: 1.4-?

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body through the skin and by ingestion. Serious local effects by all routes of exposure. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is corrosive to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Corrosive on ingestion. Inhalation may cause lung oedema, but only after initial corrosive effects on eyes and/or airways have become manifest. If swallowed the substance may cause vomiting and could result in aspiration pneumonitis. See Notes.	Inhalation risk A harmful contamination of the air will be reached rather slowly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. See Notes.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. See Notes.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS
TLV: 0.5 ppm as TWA; (skin); (SEN)

ENVIRONMENT
The substance is toxic to aquatic organisms. It is strongly advised not to let the chemical enter into the environment.

NOTES
Do NOT take working clothes home. Skin cross-sensitization with other acrylates is possible. An added stabilizer or inhibitor can influence the toxicological properties of this substance, consult an expert. The effectiveness of phenolic inhibitors is dependent on the presence of oxygen. Store under air rather than inert atmosphere. See ICSC 1742.
